Sex With A Corpse
W.B.I. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seeing you only when it's dark,
Together but yet so far apart
Giving me only just a taste, so is it a waste?
Want to relieve and satisfy,
I'm fading into your double life
Taunted by love slowly haunts me inside
And I'm not the one to give up easily
But this time I hesitate
The thrill of it all, should i put faith in you
or walk away?

Loving you is like sex with strangers
All the passion but too much danger
Feeling the heat
But will this fire end up burning out?
Hiding beneath the covers
When are we gonna be more than lovers?
Secretly in deep

Gasping for air I cannot breathe
Wanting for more I can't receive
Using my body as the bait, but is it too late?
Is this just how it's gonna be
Hanging loosely by your strings
Slipping underneath your spell
But never falling
It's never enough, I wanna be the one
Not some kind of luxury
It's hard to believe that you say you feel the same
But you don't even know me

Loving you is like sex with strangers
All the passion but too much danger
Feeling the heat
But will this fire end up burning out?
Hiding beneath the covers
When are we gonna be more than lovers?
Secretly in deep

So whats the end of a rendezvous
With the sheets turned down and my mind confused
Think you're gonna get a show?
No encore it's time to go
There's a reason why you keep coming back
You could never give me up thats a matter of fact
Why can't you just say it's so?
Leave me when I say it's so

Loving you is like sex with strangers
All the passion but too much danger
Feeling the heat
Hiding beneath the covers
When are we gonna be more than lovers?
Secretly in deep

Loving you is like sex with strangers
All the passion but too much danger
But will this fire end up burning out
Hiding beneath the covers




When are we gonna be more than lovers?
Secretly in deep

There will be no additional performances or prolonging of this relationship; it's time for it to end


There's a reason why you keep coming back
You have a specific motive or justification for repeatedly returning to this relationship


You could never give me up, that's a matter of fact

Why are you unable to openly acknowledge the truth of our relationship?


Leave me when I say it's so
If I declare that the relationship has ended, you should walk away and leave me alone
